This week: How to Make a Gold Rush

The gold rush is a modern twist on the whiskey sour that we covered in a previous week. The addition of honey adds a rich depth of flavor that works perfect with whiskey. Feel free to get creative with your choice of honey. We like orange blossom, but a darker honey like buckwheat would work great as well.

Ingredients:
Lemon Juice
Honey Syrup
Bourbon
Ice
